There’s a difference between guilt and shame
Though guilt should not be the intended goal when disciplining children, feelings of guilt may very well lead to changed behavior because guilt says, “I did something wrong.” Shame, however, says “There’s something wrong with me.” The former will not lead to changed behavior. In fact, it can often have adverse effects and result in feelings of defeat and produce similar or even worse behavior.
